will show this. However, if someone asks a technical question, we shouldn't ask "Do you have a legal copy of the software?" before answering the question. I assume they are legal and answer the question. That's the approach we should take.
I think this started becuase some users where asking about statements like "Set decimal to ##" and we'd ask "Did you read the help file or manual on this statement? do you understand what it does?" and they'd say "No, I don't own a legal copy; here in my country we buy pirated copies of Visual Studio & all MS products -- it's the way we do it... The FoxPro program I'm working on is pirated too"
We get frustrated when helping people; but when they don't even check the help stuff first; just say "I need you to write this for me becuase I don't know how" (which has happened in the IRC several times) we, those that are there to help; get frustrated because we give them info & they don't have a clue as to what their doing...
And that drives up the price of VFP for us....
